AfterKate Hudsonhad a nearly catastrophic wardrobe malfunction in the middle of aRunning Pointscreening event in New York City last month, both Theroux, 53, and Song, 36, immediately sprung to their costar’s aid.

The singer and actress, 45, wore a side boob-revealing black gown with a plunging neckline to the Feb. 26 event at N.Y.C.’s Paley Center for Media and, when she began to answer a question about three minutes into the post-screening panel discussion, part of the dress appeared to pop out of place.

Visibly startled, Hudson grabbed the front panels of her gown and exclaimed as her dutifulRunning Pointcostar Theroux, who was sitting right next to her, sprung to action,footagefrom the screening event shows.

As Song stood guard and Theroux continued his efforts, theHow to Lose a Guy in 10 Daysstar continued holding her gown and joked with the crowd, “You didn’t expect this!”

Meanwhile, the rest of the Netflix series cast on the Paley Center panel —Jay Ellis, Scott MacArthur andDrew Tarver— sat back and laughed at the malfunction.

After a few more seconds of fiddling with Hudson’s dress, during which he jokingly yelled at the panel to “just keep talking,” Theroux fixed the mishap to cheering from the crowd and the cast discussion continued as intended — until about 35 minutes later.

Toward the end of the panel, Hudson raised her hands to clap and once again, her dress appeared to pop out of place. The actress exclaimed again, alerting Theroux, who once again jumped to action to prevent a fashion disaster — only this time, he stood up for a quicker recovery.

Song, listening to her costar, did not notice the mishap this time, realizing a few seconds later that there was a repeat malfunction, saying, “Oh my…” and motioning to the front of her own dress.
